A light, tangy recipe for citrus curd fools made with Satsuma mandarins and Greek yogurt. For best results, make fools ahead of time and refrigerate overnight. 

Recipe Type: Dessert
Makes: 4 servings
Author: Brooklyn Supper
Ingredients
  • 2 satsuma oranges, preferably organic
  • 1 large lemon, preferably organic
  • 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar, divided
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 3/4 cups Greek yogurt
Instructions
  1. Zest citrus. Set aside.
  2. Juice satsumas and lemon for 1/2 cup juice. Pour juice into a heavy-bottomed saucepan; turn heat to medium or medium-high. Bring juice to a simmer, whisking frequently, and cook until it has reduced to 1/4 cup, 5 – 8 minutes. Return heat to medium, whisk in butter and 3 tablespoons sugar, stirring until melted. Turn heat to low.
  3. In a medium-sized bowl, beat egg. Whisking vigorously, add several tablespoons of hot citrus mixture. Continue adding a few tablespoons at a time until egg mixture has warmed. Whisking all the while, whisk egg mixture into warm citrus mixture. Adjust heat as needed to achieve a gentle bubble. Cook, whisking constantly, until mixture has thickened considerably and the whisk leaves trails in the curd, 3 - 5 minutes. If egg has cooked or clumped up at all, strain curd with a fine mesh sieve. Remove from heat, stir in reserved zest, and set aside.
  4. Slice top and bottom from two satsumas. Using downward strokes, cut off peel. Slice peeled satsumas into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  5. Stir 1 teaspoon sugar into Greek yogurt.
  6. Add a 2 tablespoon dollop of yogurt to the bottom of 4 1-cup glass jars. Next, add a tablespoon of curd. Continue layering, until all the yogurt has been used. Use a spoon to swirl layers – a single turn will do. Top with 2 satsuma rounds, cover, and chill 4 hours or overnight.
